Salmon, a popular source of good-for-you omega-3 fats, is paired with vitamin-rich spinach and carrots and sweetened with citrus.

Ingredients

  • Grated peel and juice of 1/2 an orange
  • 3 Tbs. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbs. hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp. dark sesame oil
  • 1 bag (6 oz.) baby spinach
  • 5 tsp. water
  • 4 1" thick skinless salmon fillets (about 1¼ lb)
  • 8 oz. sugar snap peas
  • 1 C. bagged matchstick carrots
  • Sliced scallions (garnish)

Directions

In small bowl, mix orange peel and juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, and sesame oil, and set aside. Place spinach in a mound to cover 2/3 of a microwaveable baking dish. Drizzle and toss with 2 tsp. of the water. Place salmon fillets on top. On other side of dish, toss snap peas, carrots, 1 Tbs. of the soy mixture, and the remaining 3 tsp. water. Drizzle 2 Tbs. soy mixture over salmon. Cover with vented plastic wrap (keep wrap about 1" above food), and microwave on high 5 to 7 minutes, or until salmon is slightly opaque in center and vegetables are tender. Drizzle salmon and vegetables with remaining soy mixture, then sprinkle with scallions.
